Ragefire Agreement/Rotation
 

The clerics from (IB/TMO/VD) currently in Nagafen’s Lair have come to a set of terms regarding the Ragefire camp, which we believe the rest of the server and other guilds can accept.

As a background into this set of terms, it is understood that Ragefire is currently in a broken spawn state with only one Ragefire spawning per one Nagafen. This has been fixed pending update, wherein Ragefire will spawn 0-72 hours after Nagafen’s death, and 0-72 hours after each Ragefire’s death until Nagafen is respawned. This patch has not been introduced and no known patch date has been made public; this is causing an artificial and unnecessary rarity in Ragefire’s spawn.

Another point raising the necessity for a rotation is that of wasted person-hours. The clerics and guilds currently spam-clicking empty air have collectively invested hundreds if not a thousand person-hours in time with only a single Ragefire spawn to show for it. This rotation list, as described below, will greatly enhance each of these cleric’s enjoyment of the game, allow them to spend time on other guild/group functions, and regain some semblance of stability by knowing when they will achieve their Ragefire.

The terms as stated at this point:

As of this writing and over the course of the last two and half weeks, five clerics have spent far and above more time on the camp than anyone else. These clerics are, in no particular order: Kolevii (IB), Xeli (TMO), Nirron (IB), Elethia (TMO), Relapsee (IB).

The five clerics, above, currently with the most time invested will decide amongst themselves a list to camp Ragefire and turn in their pearls. Once these five clerics have turned in their pearls and received Ragefire’s Heart, a guild rotation system will be implemented.

The guild leaders of TMO, IB, and VD, or their appointed representatives, will meet at an agreed time to /random for their guild’s position in the Ragefire rotation. Suggestion was 8pm EST tonight JAN/18/2012, but of course can be scheduled later based on the above five clerics completing their Ragefires. Once a guild’s position is set in the rotation, each individual guild can determine internally how to distribute their Ragefire spot amongst their clerics.

It is important to remember that the haste with which this patch is implemented will greatly impact the speed at which this rotation will function. Once it is implemented however, we expect all clerics currently holding pearls to receive their Ragefire within 6-8 weeks.

Due to the nature of the Cleric epic and Ragefire spawn, it is required that Nagafen be killed in order for Ragefire to spawn. The three guilds currently in this rotation are looking at ways to incorporate other guilds/clerics into this agreement once the rotation becomes implemented. At the current rate of Ragefire spawns, without the patch, this is at least 7-8 weeks out. Thoughts and input are welcomed on this point.

for the health of us all I agree

Sounds reasonable and level-headed. Best of luck to you all.

and there was great rejoicing

ninik gnome not included! glad something is coming about.

As much as most of us would like to see ninik get an epic, I think it is pretty fair that those folks who have already invested far, far too many hours into this camp not get shafted. I think Ninik would agree!

I am guessing she's #1 on the list once the patch comes out and the first wave of clerics from ib/tmo/vd get their sprinklers and the rotation gets opened up some. I hope so anyway.

Agreed!

The five clerics, Kolevii (IB), Xeli (TMO), Nirron (IB), Elethia (TMO), and Relapsee (IB), have decided that the first five Ragefires (including current one) will be distributed as follows:

1. TMO
2. IB
3. IB
4. TMO
5. IB

Then guild rotation starts up after that point which will be determined at a later time.

How does a guild enter the rotation? I know Taken and Divinity have a couple clerics between us who are ready for Ragefire but just don't participate in the bullshit that goes on for mobs around here sometimes.
